3D cephalometric landmark detection by multiple stage deep reinforcement learning

Abstract The lengthy time needed for manual landmarking has delayed the widespread adoption of three-dimensional (3D) cephalometry. We here propose an automatic 3D cephalometric annotation system based on multi-stage deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and volume-rendered imaging. This system consider...
